Safari came from a friend down south who donated her as a companion for Sikozu. Sikozu’s companion of 7 years passed away at 19 years old.
Did you know that there are more lion’s in the US, in captivity, than in the wilds of Africa? This is because of poaching for their body parts.

BLM Mustang

Orion is a registered BLM Mustang

Orion was captured outside of Nevada. BLM Stands for Bureau of Land Management. They capture wild horses when there is too many for the land to support. Then they are sent to be trained and start a new life in captivity. This is so that they will not have to be culled.

This is Spazzy and Grumpy

Benny

Benny was donated to the sanctuary. To protect our livestock and companion horses. He is a cross between a mini horse and a mini donkey.

Mules are used to protect livestock. They will kick and yell at any predators that are trying to hunt and kill: chickens, cows, ducks.... etc. This usually scares off the predator.
